DH106 Comet 1A F-BGNX Restoration

I especially liked the planes you could go into which showed how people used to travel by air!! There are lots of curators around who are only too pleased to give information on the history of the various exhibits. Well worth the entrance fee!

If you are interested in the history of aviation in the UK then this is an absolute must visit place. It follows the history of the Dr Havilland family’s passion for flying developing into manufacturing their own airplanes.

I loved being able to get really close to the exhibits.

As a Hertfordshire lad by birth, I should have known about this place years ago. But glad I’ve found it now. Many have described it as a ‘Gem’ and it really is. It’s so important that the memory and history of the great De Havilland organisation is remembered and passed on to future generations.

You can see the aircraft being restored and interesting exhibits.

My son enjoyed himself particularly sitting in the planes and the guide in Hangar E was very informative and helpful.

A truly great collection and friendly, enthusiastic volunteers.

Ease of access to exhibits, so many aircraft open. Very relaxed atmosphere and great quality of information.

We had a great visit and the kids really loved getting in the planes!

Touching the last remaining part of a Sea Hornet was very special
